If you saw an ad, it wasn't due to me. I did not and would not monetize this video.
This was not on UA-cam, so I had to upload it. I don't own the rights to the STILL FRAME IMAGE from Evangelion, or also, obviously, the greatest performance of the greatest song in all of history.
This track is taken from The Evangelion Addition CD and was also released on Evangelion Classical vol 1. This is the same performance featured in episode 24 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and in Evangelion: Death. Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Conducted by Alexander Rahbari and performed by the BRTN Philharmonic Orchestra Brussels.
You will notice the audio has been compressed. I did this because the environment in which music listening takes place has changed. I simply can't play it loudly enough to hear the quiet stuff without the loud stuff potentially bothering my neighbors.
I'm not completely satisfied with the compression here, either. But then, I'm rarely satisfied with my work. If you understand audio compression better than me, some pointers would be quite welcome. What settings would you recommend? I didn't want to go overboard or anything. Just to bring up the quiet stuff.

@@NineArcdamn dude, I'm guessing you don't like NGE?
Who wants some TL;DR? In defense of the infamous "minute of nothing," finding out what the lyrics mean at 13:28 is what convinced me Anno is a genius. An 18th-century German hymn stripped of its original context, makes perfect sense synced with the (alleged lack of) animation.
Original German:
1: "Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
2: Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
3: Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt
4: Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen!"
(each two lines are sung by the male soloist, then repeated by the female chorus)
English:
1: "Be embraced, millions!" This summarizes the decision Kaworu is coming to and explaining to Shinji while both versions of the line are sung.
2: "This kiss is for the entire world!" The "kiss" is either Kaworu's self-sacrifice per se (really putting the "Christ" in "Christian motif"), or Shinji's reluctant participation. Killing his one remaining friend to prevent extinction is the precedent for Shinji rejecting his "everybody should die including myself" mentality and ending Instrumentality.
3: "Brothers, above the star-field
4: "Must a loving Father dwell!" In Evangelion-context, this is cruel irony at the root of what's wrong with Shinji... or is it? In EOE, Gendo says he kept literal & emotional distance from Shinji to protect him. It could also mean "someone caused all of this," referring to SEELE/Keel, Gendo, and their competing plans driving the entire story. The "Seeds of Life" (Lilith & Adam) in turn have a creator (never directly referenced in NGE/EoE).
The actual moment of Kaworu's death (and the famous splash) cuts off the first line of the next stanza, "Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?/Do you bow to him, millions?" Instrumentality is a choice, despite how hard SEELE worked to force it on everyone and how much Gendo didn't care.
This comment has vindicated untold dozens of bad takes posted here and comments that are just a time stamp and not a single word. Thank you.
@@TheSchmuck2 I *just* looked and realized the video is 8 years old.
In my opinions your toughts are even more accurate if you think about Kaworu himself.
He is the 12th angel. But angel is a flaw in the translation. In japanese original it's apostle.
So kaworu is the 12th apostle or, speaking with the bible, judas.
@@Prunky he's the 17th Angel/Messenger/Apostle in Neon Genesis Evangelion. In Rebuild of Evangelion, he's both 1st and 13th.
@@TheSchmuck2
He isn't.
According to the manga he is the 12th angel. And like said in an interview, the manga comes closest to hideaki annos planned original story.
"You betrayed me!

"The only freedom I possess... Is to choose when to die.
...And I... Do not.... Choose lonely eternity."
Who said this quote Shinji?
Carter Revell Kaworu Nagisa, right before his death at the hands of Yui and Shinji Ikari.
That line foreshadowed Shinji‘s fate
Everybody gangsta til the gays start projecting AT fields
They're the strongest AT Field ever recorded
Of course you would call it an AT field.
Yes. That's exactly what they're projecting. And nothing else.
I don't get it... why'd their AT fields be any different
Eamon Quinn So powerful it gives quite the colorful display upon impact
I love how the scene of Kaworu opening Heaven's door matches with the lyric "and the cherub stands before God", "cherub" being another word for "angel"...
Litle Ángel right?
Cherub is not at all angel, thank you for this comment. Cherubs are the closest angels to God.
@@d.a.g.c961 That's a common misconception. The small child-like angels depicted in Renaissance art were later confused with Cherubim. But in biblical tradition, Cherubim are generally considered the second highest class of angels after the Seraphim (and the second closest to God). They are said to be four-winged animalistic creatures that move like lightning. and represent "fullness of knowledge". Quite a bit more formidable than the usual modern depiction.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that!
And he stands before Lilith, a god-like being who created humanity.
12:42 In the context of the series, the situation is critical and disturbing; a young boy who's a very nice person, happens to actually be an angel that manages to go further than any other angel has achived to reach within NERV's HQ; everyone is confused and suddenly anxious because of the unexpected and extremely dangerous betrayal, and for Shinji it's even worse; his only friend is now an enemy that has to be killed by all means, and even Kaworu himself asks him to get killed by him. Being given all this information, you would expect a fiting melody for such an event, right? Well, while all this transtorned tragedy is taking place, a classic melody known as "Ode to Joy" starts playing, and because of how anticlimatic it is for the situation, it _does_ slap harder than any dark music they could have chosen for this scene; Imagine that you are *very* depressed, and then, a hopeful song starts playing while your entire life is being teared apart:

Memes aside, I actually really like this scene. It’s actually my favorite moment out of the entire series from a character analysis standpoint. Having a still frame is a representation of Shinji’s inner conflict and struggle with having to come to terms with Kawrou, the only person who has shown him true affection/love, being an Angel and having to kill him. This part is done pretty well in the Manga as well, but I like the way it was done in the Anime way better. Sometimes less is More

“I won’t allow anyone to lay a finger on that gentleman”
Tbh classical music is really good as apocalypse music
I'm glad someone else thinks that way, give Anton Bruckner's 7th symphony, 3rd movement a try, it fits that description perfectly.
It really is though, it makes it more surreal
ua-cam.com/video/Q9V8xmrJ6ps/v-deo.html
The "pre-9th Symphony" (declarated by Beethoven in person). A sort of "Ode to Joy 00 Test Type", as well in my top of his compositions 💕 (and let's talk about my absolute favorite composer and musician of ever, of course) ❤️
Maybe it's because it features in Die Hard, Neon Genesis and A Clockwork Orange but I associate it with the phrase "a terrible beauty is born", namely an apocalyptic event like you describe but glorious. It definitely creates a cognitive dissonance in that it's "chirpy" joyful music but there's a force in it that's overwhelming which suggests something cataclysmic. Uneasiness + exhilaration for me listening to this.

LMAOOO
After looking up the actual lyrics for "Ode to joy", also finding out it's the anthem of the European Union, found that the lyrics fit ALMOST perfectly with the end of Evangelion,just take a look at the (translated) last two lines:
Gladly,
As His heavenly bodies fly
On their courses through the heavens,
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.
You millions, I embrace you.
This kiss is for all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions?
World, do you know your creator?
Seek him in the heavens;
Above the stars must He dwell.
fricken sp00ky m8, but it really fits well with the scene
What? I don't know where you looked this up, but this is not the correct translation of the song. You can find the first part roughly in a later verse but the second part is definitely not in thís piece. I'm from Germany... I should know this.
Im pretty sure you're missing more than one half of the entire movement...
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Thy sanctuary.
Thy magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.
Whoever has created
An abiding friendship,
Or has won
A true and loving wife,
All who can call at least one soul theirs,
Join in our song of praise;
But any who cannot must creep tearfully
Away from our circle.
All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,
A tried friend to the end.
Even the worm can feel contentment,
And the cherub stands before God!
Gladly, like the heavenly bodies
Which He set on their courses
Through the splendor of the firmament;
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.
You millions, I embrace you.
This kiss is for all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions?
World, do you know your creator?
Seek him in the heavens;
Above the stars must He dwell.

@@oggynator5183 The second part starts at 13:55, and the translation is pretty accurate, although „So you fall in worship, you millions?“ would probably capture the German meaning better than „Do you fall in worship, you millions“.

To me, Evangelion has the most realistic optimistic ending. None of that "power of friendship" bullshit.
Plain and simple: any place can be paradise so long as you have the will and determination to make it so. It will not be easy and you will need to work and want it badly enough to make it so, but it is possible.

You are not alone. Evangelion has been very emotional for many people, myself included. There's a couple of parts in it that I always cry at.
I recommend doing a lot of reading on the Evageeks website once you've seen the whole series and all the movies. There are some different ways of translating parts of the show that can be important to look into.

2- bruh, *splash*
17:05 still my fave part to sing and to listen
damn, must be a masterpiece moments.
wow I want to see the concert lol sounds amazing
It's a shame this part is usually performed so slowly...i think Rahbari is the only version i've heard so far that chooses a proper tempo for this epic release of tension.
This is bone-chilling to hear, especially after watching Episode 24, as it not only sets the stage for "End of Evangelion", but also represents Shinji's last link to the hope, optimism and reassurance of his life. Once he kills Kaworu in that episode, he breaks that link and thus his will to live.
Anno and his team really know how to use the medium. This scene worked because it was animated--it's the rigidity and illegibility of the Eva's posture and expression that allows us to feel Shinji's turmoil. It's the Kuleshov Effect in excelsis! If we saw any breathing, any twitching, any shifting, we'd focus on that instead, but stillness--absolute stillness--traps us in the entry plug with Shinji. It's genuinely one of the most breathtaking shots I've seen in any medium, up there with Jupiter backlit by the sun in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Writer, the Scientist, and the Stalker sitting in the rain in Tarkovsky's Stalker.

I commented on this video because it was my favorite version of Ode to Joy but now that I've watched the show I can't help but feel sad. It's all just too much. I really don't know what to say. Is too good
@@MadKingOfMadaya I'm a bit late but...
Congratulations.
@@IamOutOfNames *_*anime moan*_* thank you all
Then you realize Armisael, one of the angels of the series, looked like a "worm" and he's technically a "Cherub"
This isnt entirely correct, the part "Cherub steht vor Gott!" means before, In terms of standing in front of someone. So it should be:
"Pleasure was given to the worm and the cherub stands before god"
All right you can put me down now...
SPLAT!!!!!
GRIFFISUUUUUU
*CLANG*
Ooops
Oof

The first time I heard Variation 9 (12:39) after watching Evangelion, I started crying uncontrollably. Sometimes a piece of media completely colors the impact of a piece of music for you. This was one such case.
I really love Evangelion, such an amazing anime! It gave me headaches for days while I was trying to understand everything. This symphony really matches with evangelion's hidden meaning and the psychological state of the characters in this episode.
Abel Figueiredo omg same! I just got into it and had to watch multiple explanation vids to take everything in. Once you understand that this show was opening our minds to the characters metal emotions it feels more like a therapy than a anime
@jordocote Asuka Langley Soryu
The First time I watched this, I thought my Netflix app had glitched lmao. I turned out to like the series so much, I actually forked out the money to buy the extremely out of print DVDs of both the series and the movies. Evangelion isn’t perfect, but it’s a lot better than most anime that is being made now.
Yeah, episode 17 definitely has sub-par art and animation in multiple scenes.
@Ben Tennyson Wear the goddamn Omnitrix Benjamin
Imagine the number of TV audiences who thought their channels, if not their very TV sets, were suddenly broken back in those days.
The best music composition ever created placed on the best anime ever created
LMAO this was probably the single biggest overhype anime I have seen in my life
Eva was ok for its time but the fanboys blow it out of proportion
Why it is out of its proportion?
@@lordofashes2570 idk that ending made me think more than anything ive ever seen. which is all i really look for in shows and movies. if i just sit there any get nothing out of it than its a waste of time really.
@@lorenzoartegiani5258 We both know you and me, apparently ❤️
Per te, tutto il mio essere
@@lordofashes2570 Yeah, you really had to live it to understand it... unfortunately you didn't.
I really love the new Rebuild series. Fantastic animation. And they've brought the intensity of the struggle against the Angels to a whole new level. It's really visceral and I find it quite moving. And the music. Damn.
Well, I really love all of Evangelion, so... yeah.
Never ceases becoming older
But the older it becomes, the stronger it hits. Kaworu was right, music really is the Lilim's greatest achievement.
Guys, don't forget that by playing this at 23:48:18 tomorrow the music drops right as midnight strikes
Dude posted this 10 years ago and is still hearting comments. Respect
@@stevepensando2593 i am pretty sure it should be 23:27:18
This makes just want to yell “Eva Unit 02 just activated!” for no reason
Nah, there's reason! 💗
4:59
9:00 is what plays when Unit 1 and Unit 2 fall into central dogma in Evangelion Death and Rebirth in case any of you were searching for it like me. Finding this has made this the best 23 minutes of my week.
12:40
Commence the mindfuckery!
I shall commend you for that sir
This part of the show interested me in that Shiji went from flat out refusing to kill someone even to save his own life to feeling so betrayed he wanted to kill someone( Kaworu ). The characters in this show have a breaking point when they can’t take it anymore, this was Shinji’s
He didn't wanted to kill him, but he felt forced to
Even if he still felt betrayed
PAN LOL that’s a good point, being that Shinji hesitated for as long as he did
"Life is too short..."
This frame:
The beauty and tragedy that is kawoshin. Such a fitting song for one of anime's most tragic plot twists
Agreed
6:49 Kaworu descends. Something about the image of the Angel slowly falling down the shaft, with Unit 02 hunched over it protectively always gets chills out of me. It also signifies the beginning of the conflict between Shinji and Kaworu as that conflict has become inevitable. That conflict is resolved at 13:28, but not without regret.
12:30 is where the heartrending moment is.
I think this is the best rendition and upload of the whole Ode to Joy piece posted on UA-cam, been looking for the complete movement
I'm very grateful to you.
Nobody:
NGE and A Clockwork Orange fans when they hear this: well you would you look at that, it's time for mental breakdown
This ladies and gentlemen, is what perfection looks like.
And non-binary pals! Also magical creatures.
I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but I always thought the structure where Kaworu is first seen sitting on looks like the statue of the goddess of victory Nike, wich has the appearance of an armless beheaded angel.
It's intresting considering the way Kaworu died: The beheaded angel is a symbol of victory.
poor poor Kaworu…
He died like orange juice
It’s the most beautiful classic song I’ve ever listen to…and what makes it more wonderful for me is that in the anime it was a very powerful scene🥲
WE GOT THIRD IMPACT WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Ode to Joy is the anthem for humanity's journey, and ultimately, for when humanity's journey finally comes to an end. It is an ode to us; a testament to how far we have come.
I don’t see it that way. I see it as Ludwig imagining with the most amazing and… almost divine, utopian, images of a world without divisions. ‘Thy gentle wing binds again what the sword of custom strictly divided,’ wasn’t him saying ‘hey let’s keep them borders and flags and weapons around,’ I know that’s for sure. 🏴
The best thing i've ever heard with the best thing i've ever seen.
Shocked.
Damn Kaworu and his taste in music
13:30 They really left the most beautiful part for Kaworu's death didn't they? :C
"Es bueno cantar.
Cantar alegra el alma. La música es la mayor creación de los lilim. ¿Pero qué piensas tú, Shinji Ikari?"
Esa entrada fue tan épica... cómo introdujeron al personaje
👌
Probably just an Eva hater. They're out there.
I can't imagine another reason anyone could thumb this down. Unless they have absolutely horrible taste.
Forget about that. Beethoven was fucking deaf. A deaf person made this piece of musical art. That people just have bad taste in general
@@feliperodriguezgatica3190 White Evas, IMO. Those cu*ts ruin literally EVERYTHING
@@moravianlion3108 explain it in a more complex way, please, to know if I agree or I disagree with you
@@feliperodriguezgatica3190 I think he meant that's who disliked the video, my man.
har har.
This frame of animation is displayed for 9 seconds and then briefly later for another minute and four seconds. In a 22-minute episode it takes up 1:13
Episode 24 turned Ode to Joy into fight music.
This was the official song of Copa Libertadores for about 15 years, the most important football competition in south america. Don´t ask me why I didn´t saw Evangelion befores this weekend, but all the episodes since 19th broke my soul, and this scene broke my heart
What a coincidence that is! Imagine the theme to, say, the Europa League playing when Zeruel gets killed!
@@heiwiik8744 don't compare Europa League with la Libertadores, is not the same
@@feliperodriguezgatica3190 I know, I was just providing an example. EL's theme is quite similar to "Normal Blood", for a change.
@@heiwiik8744 no, the comparission is unforgivable. I condemn you to watch a football match from Somalia
@@feliperodriguezgatica3190 Phew, it beats my banishment to Brazil, off I go!
Despite only being around a minute in the anime, the frame being shown in this video feels as long as the video sometimes. Especially so when re-watching the series and knowing what’s about to happen.
OMG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOREVER FOR THIS VERSION SINCE WATCHING EVANGELION. YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I'm so sad Beethoven wasn't able to live to see Evangelion all the way through.
This scene is so weirdly calm. Kaworu looking up to Shinji and Shinji looking down to Kaworu. Both waiting.
The scene plays as a single picture until Kaworu's death, but that moment looked much better dragged on for that long. It added much more symbolism to the scene imo.
goody jokes aside i love this as it represents shinjis emotional state through out the episode and trying to come to terms with whats happening
4:58 Kaoru starts to levitate and unmanned Unit2 becomes operational
6:16 Misato orders Shinji, who thought he got betrayed and is furious, to go
9:01 Unit1 and Unit2 descend slowly to Terminal Dogma and Heaven's Door opens
12:38 Shinji and Kaoru fight each other
13:29 Shinji in Unit1 holds Kaoru, who says death is equivalent to being alive, and Unit1 doesn't move at all for a while
This scene is so well done, as is Eva as a whole, truly a masterpiece.
"Alle Menschen werden Brüder wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt"
"All people become brothers where your gentle wing resides"
This literally describes the third impact
"Deine Zauber binden wieder was die Mode streng geteilt"
"Your magic reunites those that convention has strictly divided" (i.e human souls)
This piece was fucking epic for that scene, when everything was calm and suddenly Tabris/Kaworu reveals his true power
12:40 EPIC PART
You're all welcome
Thanks, soldier
Thank you sir
Thancc
Sorry, the epic part is all the piece with all 4 movements
Mozart has been real silent since this dropped.
